For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.

Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
Pope Paul Vi
Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.
Josh Billings
The halos exist, but are so faint that an extremely sensitive telescope such as Chandra is needed to detect them. Our observations solve the mystery of the missing hot halos around spiral galaxies.
Kristian Pedersen
The opening of this telescope represents one of those rare moments in a field of scientific endeavor when a great leap forward is enabled.
Bruce Betts
Because we have a dome now, instead of a flat roof, the telescope sits a lot higher on its mount. They built a platform that surrounds the base so that it is the perfect height for students to look into it.
Steve Lemoine
If you've ever looked through a telescope on the ground, all this shaking and shimmering going on (is) because you're using high-magnification track.
David Hathaway
What the crew did was put the turbocharger on this telescope. The Advanced Camera is going to add 10 times the capability to Hubble.
Garth Illingworth
Getting an observatory here had been a goal of the club for 30 years. It's a privilege to be associated with it and to have access to a research-grade telescope.
Walter Russell
However, to actually know what your seeing, a small telescope would be useful.
Alan Harris
We've designed the telescope at a fraction of the normal cost without losing any resolution.
David Buckley
This is due to the fact that the telescope at La Palma has a much bigger mirror. It is far too expensive to bring such large mirrors out into space.
Paal Brekke
It was considered a piece of space junk 10 years ago. Human intervention was needed to fix the telescope.
Sean O'keefe
The telescope was designed to be very sensitive and have a very clean response to signals from the sky.
Timothy Robishaw
They're good for sweeping around for the comet and actually give you a better view actually than a big telescope.
Steve Maran
We have no idea if there really are aliens. The next question would be, If there are aliens, can we detect it? The answer is yes. With this telescope we now have a much better chance.
Bruce Betts
Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope.
George Santayana
People accepted Canada as having a responsible solution to a very large telescope.
John Halliday
We then resorted to watching them through a telescope and marked the places where they landed to pick up sample droppings for viral tests.
David Allan
This instrument can literally look back to the beginning of time. It can look at galaxies, planetary systems. It can look essentially for life. A lot of the unanswered questions now will possibly be discovered by this telescope.
John Halliday
TELESCOPE, n. A device having a relation to the eye similar to that of the telephone to the ear, enabling distant objects to plague us with a multitude of needless details. Luckily it is unprovided with a bell summoning us to the sacrifice.
Ambrose Bierce
There was a man so very tall,That when you spoke you had to ballThrough both your hands, put like a cup,His head was such a long way up...He grew and grew - you could not seeWithout a telescope his knee;He grew till he was over-grown,And seen by oversight alone!
William Brighty Rands
It took hundreds of hours of telescope time before we were confident that we could do reliable science.
Timothy Robishaw
Scientists are keenly aware that the telescope is up there not doing anything. There's an enormous desire to get the telescope working. It's like a car -- you don't want to leave a car sitting in the garage not running. That's not good for it.
Anne Kinney
Carlson Tool has been indispensable in this project. We wouldn't have this telescope without the company's support.
Jeff Setzer
In a large telescope the motion would be perceptible against any stars in the field more or less in real time, sort of like watching the second hand on a clock, ... not quite that fast, but noticeable.
Alan Harris
When he came to me wanting to do something in astronomy, I got excited. Astronomy is my first love in science. But he wanted to buy a big telescope which we couldn't afford.
Norm Negus
First, we spent hundreds of hours since January 2003 trying to characterize how the telescope responds to radio waves.
Timothy Robishaw
With this method, we let the gravity of a dim, intervening star act as a giant natural telescope for us, magnifying a more distant star, which then temporarily looks brighter.
Andrew Williams
I think what really makes this telescope special is its high sensitivity, especially in spectroscopy.
Klaus Pontoppidan
If the skies are clear and the telescope is working right, you can see features on the surface of Mars.
Peter Jedicke
Where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?
Victor Hugo
The southern Milky Way is more spectacular and provides a richer treasure trove of objects than the northern Milky Way. We're now players in the world of large telescopes. We're in an age in which answering the big, fundamental questions requires access to large telescopes in good, dark skies. SALT is just such a telescope.
